Sorry couldn't watch the speech. DH had a choice of watching the speech or watching "Barbarians". He chose "Barbarians". But I'm having a drink anyway. Trying to read through the comments on the official SOTU threads to get the gist of what was said.

After he goes, I can watch anything I want alone, so I guess you understand why.
I'm glad I watched Barbarians. It seems to be no different than the rape and pillage of today, but at least it was another era. From what I have been reading of the SOTU speech on DU, I think I would have burst an artery.

26. That son of a bitch actually endorsed the Federal Marriage Amendment. |
|
I'm sorry if I sound like a broken record on this particular issue, but I was disgusted that he would endorse codifying hate in the Constitution. And the camera picking up Santorum grinning and clapping...sickening, sickening.
I vowed I wasn't going to watch the SOTU, but I did anyway. I'm sorry I was, actually. It reminded me how ashamed I am to have these hateful people running this country.

Something about God respecting everyone in his eyes, or some such crap immediately after he slapped gay people in the face.
BTW, have you ever noticed that W has never used the words gay or lesbian? Apparently, when he talks about respecting us, he's doing it in code.

I'm single, are they going to be buying me a mail order wife? Or are they going to use it to make it harder to end a marriage that shouldn't have ever happened?

Easily the most fun I've had in a long time now! And I was sober!
(Disclaimer: I watched the dumbass give the speech in a coffee shop, with 20-30 fellow liberals. No Child Left Behind got crucified, so to speak, and we tried to keep track of how many times he said "terror", but lost track around 15 or so. It's a good thing we didn't try the drinking game... that may have been trouble.)

He obviously enjoys lying through his teeth. His smirk when he spoke about becoming wise guardians of the taxpayer's money was classic. "Hey, I can get up here and bullshit the entire country and get standing O's. Ain't it cool?" :puke: There's gonna be a reckoning come November, Chimpy.

like Mr. Potter and Uncle Billy from "It's a Wonderful Life?"
And is it just me or does Mrs. * sound like Dale from "King of the Hill"? A cadenced monotone that somehow manages to be offkey? I doubt I have any sort of "perfect pitch" skills but for some reason her one tone sounds like it's somewhere between two keys on a piano.

I didn't actually even watch it. I had a previous commitment (a meeting with some other faculty about blah blah blah I won't go into) but just coming back home and checking in here to read over some reactions and just thinking about it.. it's all starting to feel like too much. Dammit dammit dammit damm...I don't even have the energy to curse appropriately.
At the post office today while in line I had a conversation with some ditzy-looking college girl who mentioned in passing that she had problems with grammar. "Then you're qualified to be president!" I said. She asked if this meant I didn't like Bush. I said simply, "Bush is a worthless piece of shit." "I don't think you should talk that way about President Bush," she said, followed by, "At least he's honest."
At least he's honest.
Holy fuckingmother crap.
I gave her a teensy piece of my mind, which was enough to make my wife nervous (worried I would end up in a violent altercation). Luckily, we were soon up for our turn at the postal counter and could leave the worthless little ditz behind.
At least he's honest.
How? HOW???
I ranted about the SOTU from last year (which I did watch) and all the stuff about Iraq that was proven to be known to be false at the time.
Just thinking about this stuff wears me out. This is a pointless post. But I guess it's a vent.
I don't know how to take this shit.

46. For the American worker |
|
All * had for American workers is a hearty "Fuck You"
First,the "immigrant worker" program. I was highly amused when he mentioned this,paused for applause and was met by silence.
Then,the "released convict" worker program he brought up.First time I have heard him mention that one.
Look,I do feel for illegal immigrants who come here looking for a better life. I also realize convicts leaving prison need to find employment to avoid winding up back behind bars BUT,I have to stop and look at the real motives behind this kind of shit.
The real motive is a cheap labor workforce with no motive or ability to make complaints about employers violating wage and labor laws for fear of being deported or being sent back to the joint.
Hey asshole,there are millions of us out here who are citizens who haven't broken the law,went to school and learned a trade or got a degree,worked hard to build a life only to have that life "downsized" right out from under us.Now we find ourselves unemployed or underemployed and sinking fast. We did everything right,but now find that we are too big of a "burden" on the uber-wealthy corporate owners,so they want to replace is with illegals and ex-cons.what a slap in the goddamn face!
We did it right and EARNED the right to adequeate employment by being responsible. Now this cabal wants to fuck us out of it!

Somebody did a paragraph-by-paragraph dissection of the lies. I am looking forward to discovering this for the most recent spew of atrocites, as I can no longer bear to actually witness the circle-jerk firsthand.
Do you remember who did it last year? I still have it somewhere on this computer.....someplace. My "bush" folder is getting too unmanageable!!!
